Editing Weather Underground (section)

===Anti-imperialism, anti-racism, and white privilege===
Weather maintained that their stance differed from the rest of the movements at the time in the sense that they predicated their critiques on the notion that they were engaged in "an anti-imperialist, anti-racist struggle".{{sfn|Jacobs|1997|p=135}} Weather put the ''international'' [[proletariat]] at the center of their political theory. Weather warned that other political theories, including those addressing class interests or youth interests, were "bound to lead in a racist and chauvinist direction".{{sfn|Jacobs|1997|p=135}} Weather denounced other political theories of the time as "objectively racist" if they did not side with the international proletariat; such political theories, they argued, needed to be "smashed".<ref>{{cite book|last=Harolds|first=Jacob|title=Weatherman|year=1970|publisher=Ramparts Press|isbn=0-671-20725-3|page=[https://archive.org/details/weatherman00jaco/page/113 113]|url=https://archive.org/details/weatherman00jaco/page/113}}</ref><ref>[http://foia.fbi.gov/weather/weath1a.pdf ''You Don't Need a Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows''], p. 7.</ref>

Members of Weather further contended that efforts at "organizing whites against their own perceived oppression" were "attempts by whites to carve out even more privilege than they already derive from the imperialist nexus".{{sfn|Jacobs|1997|p=135}} Weather's political theory sought to make every struggle an anti-imperialist, anti-racist struggle; out of this premise came their interrogation of critical concepts that would later be known as "white privilege". As historian Dan Berger writes, Weather raised the question "what does it mean to be a white person opposing racism and imperialism?"{{sfn|Berger|2006|p=272}}

At one point, the Weathermen adopted the belief that all white babies were "tainted with the original sin of "skin privilege", declaring "all white babies are pigs" with one Weatherwoman telling feminist poet [[Robin Morgan]] "You have no right to that pig male baby" after she saw Morgan breastfeeding her son and told Morgan to put the baby in the garbage. [[Charles Manson]] was an obsession within the group and [[Bernardine Dohrn]] claimed he truly understood the iniquity of white America, with the Manson family being praised for the [[Tate–LaBianca murders|murder of Sharon Tate]]; Dohrn's cell subsequently made its salute a four-fingered gesture that represented the "fork" used to stab Tate.<ref>Christensen, Mark.
